This is a very comprehensive 1/48 F-2A pre-painted
photo etch detail set from Platz
Hobby. This set is produced by Eduard for Platz
Hobby so you know you are getting the
quality of the industry leader. The colours are a bit darker on the real
item as compared to the above photo. The colours in the close-up photo are
more accurate to the actual colours on these photo etch set.
Areas covered in this set are the
cockpit, landing gear bays, face for gun, weapons rocket motor exhausts and
landing gear hydraulic lines with pre-painted landing gear decals made from photo
etch stainless steel.
